[PATCH 5.7 054/166] mac80211: Fix dropping broadcast packets in 802.11 encap

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Seevalamuthu Mariappan <seevalam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 78fb5b541b7ae57ac39187ccb3097e606004cf9b ]

Broadcast pkts like arp are getting dropped in 'ieee80211_8023_xmit'.
Fix this by replacing is_valid_ether_addr api with is_zero_ether_addr.
